SALMON GINGER GARLIC MARINADE

There are many variations of marinades for salmon.  I like this one as it includes fresh garlic and ginger.   You have to be careful to not over marinate fish as the acid or salt in the marinade ingredients will start to cook the fish.  I used over 2 pounds of salmon but I didn't increase the quantity of ingredients other than adding more garlic.

Salmon baked with the marinade.

INGREDIENTS:

4 to 6 salmon fillets or steaks (2 pounds)

1/4 cup olive oil

3 tbsp soy sauce

2 scallions/green onions, chopped

1 garlic clove, finely chopped

2 teaspoons fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped

DIRECTIONS:

Mix oil, soy sauce, scallions, garlic, and ginger to make a marinade, pour over salmon and marinate for one hour in the refrigerator.  I used a zip lock bag for marinating the salmon.  You can pour the marinade over the salmon and then bake the fish in a baking dish.

Grill, bake or grill salmon for about 15 to 20 minutes or until done.  The time depends on how you are cooking the salmon and the temperature.  I baked the salmon at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes as I put all of the fish into one baking dish and it was densely packed.
